Hey everyone,

Just a newbie joining to do some research on a used Outlander. Been a Yamaha guy my whole life but could be converted, I'll start a dedicated topic for that.

Look forward to learning from you all

Looking at maybe increasing my throttle body bore. Anyone do this yet.

I have just rebuilt my bike. I removed the shocks which are the standard air ride/air float assist for the XMR Outlander 2011. Everything worked great before. They were sat for about 3 months.
My fronts now top out with a bang.

Is there a specific setup for these? For instance should they be uncompressed or compressed when first using? I struggle to see them loosing oil and needing a rebuild as no oil has been lost (that I have seen) and they were perfect before hand.

I do however now have the superatv a arm kit fitted which I did not have before so I could possibly understand this may cause a problem BUT I have been unable to find anyone else relate to this being a problem and my friend has the a arms fitted to the same bike and has not had this problem so I feel it would be way too easy to blame this.

Ideally need someone who understands these shocks to tell me if this is a shock problem and if there is some way of repairing or tuning.

You may suggest they need sending to FOX for a rebuild but that is not an option. I am in the UK and we do not have a FOX shox rebuilder here mainly because the sport/hobby is very limited. Sending the shocks to FOX USA would cost an absolute fortune. :sad

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey all, I have a 2003 700, has a few issues at the moment, first one is I let it sit in a shed all winter and started it a few times, but this spring when i changed oil it had moisture in the oil? why? i did change out the water pump seals and such last year and put a few hundred miles on it after. did change the oil after I changed the seals to. second problem is with the front diff, almost like it is stuck in 4x4 when im going slow but as soon as i crack the throttle it comes out of 4x4, mind you the switch on the handle bar is shut off...third and final prob is when going down the road its like the trans is trying to shift. not sure how to word it, but you can hear a rpm difference from around 35 mph, just wondering if this is normal? i did change the one clutch (the one you dont need a puller for), also on the front diff i have changed the fluid on it every year with the pure polaris oil it reccomends. Thanks for any and all help on this beast! Robert

Hey all,

I have been a Skidoo guy forever and just this weekend got my first side by side. Maverick Trail 1000 dps. I opted not to spend the $800 for the factory sound system even though it seemed to be a way better option and have better placement than the soundbar...I just couldn't bring myself to drop $800 on it. What are some good setups people are running for sound in the Mav trail? Also, if you have any other tips about anything let me know.

Thanks.

I've been reading a lot about these rotax engines making excessive heat. I just bought a 2018 outty 850XT and I'm wondering if I should be worried about this heat issue? Anything I should be doing as a precautionary measure to eliminate the issue?

I have a 2005 400 sportsman and i'm trying to find hand guards with mounting hardware but not having any luck . did Polaris make such a thing for the 05 sportsman 400 ? I've seen some aftermarket ones but don't really like the look of the universal fit. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hi i have a 1997 Xplorer and it keeps over heating on me the cooling fan wont turn on. is there fuses i should check or what else should i do?

Looking to buy my first Can Am. Went to a local dealer to check out the 2018 Outlander 1000cc models but he has a brand new, never started 2016 850 DPS unit. He'll take $8,400 for it. After I left I came up with a bunch of questions, but he won't be open until Tuesday.

1. Do the 16's have engine braking, can't find it online?
2. Besides the move to 14" wheels and better tires, any other major improvements to 18?

3. What type of issues should I be looking for on the 16?

4. Thoughts on issues associated with sitting so long (Seals, etc)? Thinking of asking him to swap battery, oil, and antifreeze before I take it. Hoping there is no fuel in it since it wasn't started. Is the factory oil a break-in oil?

Thanks
